Right to Privacy at Church?
With cameras and video recording devices on everyone's phones, is any and everything that happens in church fair game?
Who "owns" these videos? Is there any "right" to privacy at all?
What if unflattering video was posted of you on Facebook or other social media?
What about zooming in on someone speaking in tongues of weeping profusely and sharing with their greater Facebook friends list?
Can there be no expectation of anonymity or at least a bit of privacy for the congregants?

Re: Right to Privacy at Church?
I have yet to witness anyone taking pics or shooting video from their cell phone during service.
If it starts to happen, I believe my pastor would give wise counsel and advice in such a way as to discourage that from happening.
We already have services recorded and broadcast online with professional equipment; I believe there's about a 15- to 20-second delay, though, to minimize and/or correct any blips. The only person the cameras are focused on is the one speaking from the platform...

Re: Right to Privacy at Church?
I would think folks should be responsible about who and what they film in a congregational setting,and I don't one should put up videos online that might hurt or embarrass a fellow believer on a social networking site.

Re: Right to Privacy at Church?
Depends on the church size. It does happen in our church some. 300 - 400 peeps. There are at least some who are not in favor of having their kids and themselves on public video.

I would think in a congregational setting one should be responsible about who and what they video.

I agree of course, but some seem to think this is equivalent to being ashamed or embarrassed of "the Lord".
My position? Do all things in decency and in order, whether there be cameras or not. There is no good reason to flip out in altered states of consciousness, or yelling in tongues in the mic etc.

Re: Right to Privacy at Church?
The thing is people get touched by The Holy Spirit,but one should be respectful about putting up videos about things that happen in church.

True. And yet others are just touched.

I tend to agree with Hoovie on this. It's not about being ashamed or embarrassed of "the Lord". It would be more about advertising someone else's personal experience with the Lord without their permission. I happen to think my walk with God is a very personal one. Showing pictures or videos of someone shouting or being deeply moved in the Spirit without their permission is tasteless.
Perhaps if they put down their cameras and pray for their own personal experience, they won't be intruding and broadcasting into someone else's? Just sayin...
